B&M 80688 CONSOLE QUICKSILVER - Manual

The B&M QuickSilver shifter is a dual action shifter in-
corporating straight gate operation and ratchet opera-
tion in one mechanism. The styling and appearance will
definitely add to the interior of your vehicle.
The straight gate operation allows you to quickly and
smoothly select any gear you want for daily driving from
Park to Drive. The ratchet shift feature provides crisp,
error free upshifting and downshifting on the street or
track. In the ratchet shift mode, it is impossible to overshift
or miss a gear. The vertical lockout design prevents ac-
cidental engagement of Reverse during ratchet shift-
ing.
This shifter is designed to work with an automatic, manual
valve body utilizing standard or reversed shift patterns.
Your shifter also comes supplied with all brackets and
parts to work with your transmission.
We feel that these instructions are as complete and clear
as possible. The installation of this shifter can be handled
by anyone with a minimum of mechanical experience and
basic hand tools. It is important to closely follow the in-
structions. Read each step and if you don’t understand
it, go back and read it again.
Before beginning your installation, check the parts list
on page 6 to see that all necessary parts have been in-
cluded in your kit. If anything is missing, see your B&M
dealer.
Also check the tool requirement list to make sure you
have all the necessary tools and supplies before starting
